And, like I predicted, this game didn't do that great, critically. I dunno what Polygon was talking about, R@D having a "rock solid track record". They have no track record when it comes to original ideas. Only taking other people's games and repeating the formula (Daxter from J&D, GoW PSP games, and an Okami port). We have no precedent to think that their own IP would be "rock solid".
Glad I didn't get my hopes up for this. Yes, we should try and support new studios and cultivate new ideas/IPs, but when your forte is re-hashing established IPs, with proven formulas, I take your "original" idea with a grain of salt. Because they probably thought highly of themselves based on their resume (their previous games at 80+ metas) and thought that that would translate into their own game. That rarely works.

What are you talking about. The game is getting praise for its story, atmosphere, and the world it creates. The Order is original when it comes to those areas.

I've heard reviews state ceaselessly "the characters are forgettable", or "the world is shallow", or that the interesting plot threads often fall by the wayside...I don't think original is really what reviews are saying. Pretty, sure, but original? I think most reviewers concede that The Order's story is often cliche and predictable, and certainly doesn't hold up to its lofty visions
